If you could find it one, what is the single most expensive Lionel item?

The "Brute" kind of resembles a Bi-Polier. I think there was 2 made the massive one that is huge that just went up for sale and a identical one but smaller I thing it is O-gauge. I think CTT had a article this year on the big one and that they stripped it of paint and did some kind of preservation to the metal. But the smaller one is still in original shape painted green. Don't remember where I saw the info on the smaller one. Mite of been the same article.

Me I would like the smaller Mini-Brute cause of course if I owned it I would run it.

FOUND IT. May 2007 "The Brute stops here"

The smaller one here it states in a picture is a SUPER 381
